象隐喻视域下的中医肝藏象的认知符号学解释

Cognitive semiotic interpretation of liver visceral manifestation in traditional Chinese medicine from the perspective of image metaphor

本文以象隐喻为支点,从符号学的意义认知解释的角度出发,考察了五行学说"木"之属性和肝藏象范畴家族象似性之间的关系。论证了"木"和肝藏象范畴的象隐喻发生学机制。得出结论,正是由于认知符号学解释项的参与,才使得中医学理论的发生和发展具有了生生不息的内在动力和发展永续的活力。提出并回答了长期困扰中医学隐喻理论研究中的一些问题。源于五行学说范畴的中医肝藏象范畴理论的认知意义解释具有元认知的解释功能,是理解和认知中医学理论的认知起点。

This paper takes the image metaphor as the fulcrum, and from the perspective of semiotic cognitive interpretation of meaning, it examines the relationship between the property of "Wood" in the wuxing(five element) Theory and the family iconicity of the category of "liver visceral manifestation". The metaphorical mechanism of "wood" and "liver visceral manifestation" category is demonstrated. It is concluded that the involvement of cognitive semiotics makes the occurrence and development of TCM theory have the inherent motive force and sustained vitality. Some problems in the study of metaphor theory in traditional Chinese medicine have been put forward and answered. Originated from the wuxing Theory, cognitive meaning interpretation of TCM liver visceral manifestation category theory has the function of metacognitive interpretation, and is the cognitive starting point of understanding TCM theories.
